the relevant international standards, and the role that the RC and UNCT can play in promoting the issue. They also direct colleagues to further support and tools available from the UN system.

They were significantly expanded upon by the work of UNDG Members and partners through a series of Frontiers Dialogues* launched by the UNDG in 2016 that brought to the fore the value, challenges and action needed for an integrated and human rights-based response
to emerging development challenges. <u></u><u></u></span></p>

<i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">* The “Frontier Dialogues” were designed and lead by members of the former UNDG Human Rights Working group and included discussion on issues identified by the HRWG member based on the following
criteria: </span></i><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif" lang="EN-GB">the need for new thinking in response to key challenges facing the international community; the need to articulate and mobilize
a strong and powerful defence of human rights on emerging trends or challenges and current national and international responses; the need to identify new conduct in order to ensure the protection of human rights and empowerment; and Human Rights concerns
where we are witnessing a shocking silence. </span></i><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">The HRWG Secretariat in DOCO played a key role in supporting lead agencies in conceptualizing and implementing the Dialogues.<u></u><u></u></span></i></p>
